It is diurnal and highly active, often hunting small mammals, birds, and reptiles in a variety of habitats, including forest edges, fields, and agricultural areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1528\" data-start=\"1301\"\u003eThe species is known for its keeled scales, streamlined body, and rapid movement. Colouration is typically brown to olive, sometimes with subtle darker markings, providing camouflage among leaf litter and forest floor debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1793\" data-start=\"1530\"\u003eIn captivity, Keeled Rat Snakes require spacious enclosures with climbing structures, hides, and consistent access to water. Providing an appropriately sized prey diet and maintaining proper temperature and humidity encourages natural behaviour and overall health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":54783625855313,"sku":"keeled-rat-snake-unsexed","price":666.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/6952\/8657\/files\/Keeled-Rat-Snake_2.jpg?v=1788427065","url":"https:\/\/viperiareptiles.co.uk\/products\/keeled-rat-snake","provider":"Viperia Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
